Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) is set to open a new full service dealership in Zamboanga by the 4th quarter of 2015. Honda Cars Zamboanga (HCZM) will be located in Mayor Vitaliano D. Agan Avenue, Camino Nuevo, Zamboanga City.

Strategically located just across KCC Mall and nearby commercial areas, Honda brings its products and services closer and accessible to residents of Zamboanga and nearby towns and cities. HCZM, with its approximately 1,800 square meter land area, will offer Honda’s latest product line-up and complete vehicle service facilities for general repair, preventive maintenance and body-and-paint.

HCPI and HCZM partnership was sealed last May 22, 2015 with the presence of HCPI President and General Manager, Toshio Kuwahara, and HCZM principals Anthony N. Cheng and Bryna Gayle T. Lim. HCZM will be headed by Mr. Yee Siu T. Lim.

Family man wins an All-New Honda Mobilio

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) concluded its Honda Mobilio 7 Smiles raffle promo and awarded an All-New Honda Mobilio to 32-year old Jose Antonio Goncero, Jr. from Fairview, Quezon City whose name was picked out from thirty thousand raffle entries from April 18 to May 2, 2015.

Goncero, a father of two, has been dreaming with his wife about a new family car to replace their 18-year old sedan. And to make the dream a step closer to reality, Goncero researched on new cars and product reviews to find out which car would be fit for their family of 4 and an occasional 6 or 7 when their parents pay them a visit. Originally, he considered to get an SUV which he thought was perfect for the family. But according to Goncero, car ownership does not end with the purchase and insisted it was only the beginning. And through his search for maintenance costs, he found out that an SUV might not be the vehicle for him yet and concluded that subcompact multi-purpose utility vehicles may be the best options to replace their sedan with the additional versatility, functionality and space.

While Goncero researched on different vehicles that fit this category, he noted that he had several encounters with the Honda Mobilio online, “Nakikita ko na sa Facebook ‘yung tungkol sa Mobilio at sa promo ng Honda sa mga posts ng friends ko, pero di ko pinapansin. Akala ko may catch yung promo na kailangan bumili ng kotse para manalo”, he shared. (I saw my friends’ posts about the Mobilio and Honda promo on my Facebook news feed, but never really took a look at it. I thought you will need to buy a car to enter and get a chance to win the raffle.)

But on May 2 at 10:00 am, Goncero randomly checked his Facebook account and saw a post from Top Gear Philippines which prompted him to join the raffle instantly, “Iba eh, yung words na, now na sa post yung talaga nag-catch sakin to click the link and read about it,” he recalled. (When Top Gear Philippines shared the article on Facebook it felt very different and the word “now” on their post caught my attention to read about the promo.)

As stated in the mechanics, he tuned in to GMA News TV and patiently waited for Turbo Zone to air and watched Honda’s segment. “Nung napanood ko, lalo ako na-enganyo sumali sa promo. Saktong sakto rin kasi sakin ‘yung Mobilio,” Goncero shared. (After watching the show, I was more encouraged to join. The Mobilio is perfect for me.) Goncero tried his fortune, entered the raffle via the online registration and luckily won the All-New Mobilio.

No other than HCPI’s President and General Manager, Toshio Kuwahara, personally gave the keys to Goncero with his family, “We are happy that we are able to fulfil Mr. Goncero’s dream of owning a new family car that would take them to different places together even with additional members of the family. We hope that the All-New Mobilio will not only bring more smiles but also memories that will last forever.”

Honda gathers over 100 All New Odyssey reservations

With just over a week since launched, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), received over 100 All New Odyssey reservations which retails at an introductory price of P2,298,000 and comes with free Modulo accessories until March 31 only.

 

The All New Odyssey is Honda’s offering for customers looking for a seven-seater luxury minivan that showcases the perfect balance of utility and passenger car values.  The All New Odyssey’s utility characteristics suggest spacious cabin and flexible seating; while passenger vehicle characteristics evoke driving performance and fuel efficiency;

 

To achieve this, HCPI equipped the All New Odyssey with features that has never been offered in any of the Honda vehicles locally available:

 

Captain Cradle Seats which are especially designed for the second row passengers features different seat structures to provide ultimate comfort. The cradle structure simultaneously raises the seat cushion to the optimal angle when the passenger reclines the seatback. The bendable seatback structure enables the passenger to adjust the angle of the upper half of the seatback independently. And lastly, an ottoman is added for leg support and a more relaxing posture. These seats can be moved backwards by 740mm to exude a limousine-like space or sideways to create a private space for each occupant.

 

Multi-view Camera System supports safe driving by significantly improving visibility around the vehicle through images generated from four wide angle cameras located on the front grille, right and left door mirrors and the tailgate. Synthesized images are shown on the touch screen display audio with navigation. Different images can be displayed depending on the situation such as driving through an intersection with poor visibility, parking the car or driving through a narrow street.

 

Smart Parking Assist System helps the driver to park with automatic steering input using the Electric Power Steering (EPS) motor. This is based on automatic detection of the parking space by analyzing the images framed by the Multi-view Camera System. The system supports backing into the parking space and parallel parking even in a tight spot where multiple steering operations are required.

 

Rear Entertainment System is a 9-inch LCD monitor which can convert the rear cabin into a private entertainment space. Back seat passengers can enjoy watching DVD and other multimedia contents via the HDMI external video input.

 

Earth Dreams Technology is a next generation set of technological advancements that enhances the engine to greatly improve both fuel efficiency and driving performance. The All New Odyssey is the first Honda model available in the Philippines that is developed with Earth Dreams Technology 2.4-liter, DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine and Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT with 7-speed paddle shifter).

 

No other than HCPI’s President and General Manager, Toshio Kuwahara unveiled and spoke with optimism about the All New Odyssey in a press conference last March 3. “We are overwhelmed to hear about the very positive response from our customers especially in this category. We are working closely with our dealerships to be able to supply the orders we have taken over the week. We plan to continue to introduce new products that suit the demands and needs of the Filipino customers”, said Kuwahara in a press statement.
